The shower was cold!! And the hair dryer was melted. I couldnt lock the security deadbolt because the door is messed up. Plus i got locked out of my room when i went to get breakfast. They sent me back and forth 3 times with the same key and then had to try 3 different keys before I could get back in. It was so frustrating!

Please stop! Stop! This is the most disgusting hotel in America. I see more gifts check and check out then actually check in unfortunately for me. I booked a six night day. It was refused to refund from hotel or Expedia. The carpet in the hallway had dead roach and trash for days. It was so bad I check out early because the bed was making me itch. While checking out, a family was leaving after going to their room and finding no toilet in the room.

I went to check in and the staff was incredibly rude. To the point they cancelled my room right in front of me. I never got to stay there, nor would they give me a refund or write down on a piece of paper that they cancelled it so I could contact Expedia to get a refund. I tried calling Expedia several times with hours on wait. I still have not spoken to a representative about this situation. I had my two daughters with me, it was a football weekend and all rooms were sold out in the Baton Rouge area. It took me hours to find a room which ended up costing me an extra $500. I am still waiting on someone from Expedia to contact me about this situation. Thanks!
